If they charge over $100, go some other place, dropping the car should not cost that much.

Never been there before but driven by it a few times. I heard it's like a Japanese pepboys or more like Autozone considering all the ricer stuff available.

Mucho expensive... Everything is marked up 25% higher than norm.. Think of it more like Fry's for the Import car market. You go there and look around, test their goodies, then go home and buy it online.

For their service dept... it sure looks nice and clean, but they charge a hefty fee for any work they do.

For instance, their Greddy SPII Exhaust for RX-8 is about 750 bucks. :P

Or their Volk Rims are about 650 each for a 18" one.. and 800 for 19".

No wonder they are going to lose more money this year!

Spot on. Not much rotary-specific hardware in stock, but tons of universal import stuff. The audio section demos are pretty cool.

should say, they are always in stock because it's so pricey :P

I like browsing stuff there, then go home and ordering the stuff online. Just like Best Buy. Unless it's a dinky thing like an air freshner or something.

been there and i can say i'll probably never buy anything from there.

we call it the TOYS'R'US for car mods. its a nice place to look at rims and other cool things, but their prices are pretty high.

install prices would be cheaper at most local shops

I got my SP2 over their for 560. I must admit I made my girl call to see if they will give her a discount which they did. When I called it was 615 then I told her to call the next day and it worked haha.
